On Saturday 19th January George FitzGerald took to the hallowed Essential Mix decks, taking over the airwaves for two hours as part of BBC Radio 1's '2013's Future Stars' series. Having capped off a stellar 2012, this is just the start of what is set to be an even bigger year from one of electronic music’s fastest rising talents.

The last twelve months have been extremely busy for FitzGerald as he continues to capture the attention of industry heads and fans alike with his nuanced and emotive homegrown club music. Releasing music on his regular home Hotflush, as well as Will Saul’s Aus Music imprint and the acclaimed Hypercolour stable, not to mention his own burgeoning ManMakeMusic imprint, FitzGerald's flourishing discography has been a mainstay of end of year lists with tracks like ‘Don’t You’ and ‘Child’ continuing to receive heavy support.

Across the two-hour mix FitzGerald has the chance not only to showcase his ample talents as a DJ, but to dig deep into his collection and articulate the full diversity of his musical tastes. Featuring a selection of upfront and exclusive material from himself and his label as well as an effortlessly deployed selection of classic records, this is essential listening from a cutting-edge artist ready to make an indelible mark this year.
